Tokyo Days

Thursday, July 6, 2017

Same old stripes, taking new shapes. Virtually, it seems as though I don’t even live in New York anymore, and I actually don’t mind it quite a bit. Actually already have my dates back to Tokyo already determined and looking forward to November every day.Funny, that just a couple of years ago, I told myself I’d probably won’t find myself here often. On a recent trip to Turkey with my, now long distance, boyfriend, I randomly asked - did you think we’d be here and dating for over 5 years when you asked me out then? And to that, he answered, “I mean, I didn’t date you thinking how long I was going to date you for.”These Tokyo days get more and more comfortable each passing trips and I’m slowly getting over, or at least around, the self-consciousness about my vulgar ways of dressing here. It felt like ages ago when I had to put on shorts under a shirtdress out of modesty. And to think without even getting to know Tokyo, I was already setting a time limit on it. My bad, Tokyo. Hopefully, I’ll make it up to you soon with some new fond memories.
